Thumbs Up: Hot cars are always dangerous for pets

Thumbs Down to people who somehow have missed what seems to be a pervasive message that pets should not be left in a vehicle during warm or especially hot weather. Such a message is delivered steadily during warm months - and in the South that means most of the calendar year. Nevertheless every summer brings the gruesome news of pets dying a brutal death after being left unattended in a car. A recent case took place Sunday in the parking lot of a Spartanburg shopping mall, and the police officers who arrived on the scene captured some of the agonizing minutes of the slow death of a bulldog named Thor. An owner was arrested, but that will not bring back to life the dog who was captured on video during stages of a deadly heat stroke.
